Chapter 657: The Beginning of History

Eternal Night.

The moment Gaia opened her eyes, she saw Yun Xi sitting opposite her, looking at her with sparkling eyes.

"What’s the matter?" Gaia yawned and asked.

"You slept for a day and a night." Yun Xi said.

"Yes, it was really comfortable to sleep." Gaia said.

"That means you should have slept well." Yun Xi said.

"Yes, I did." Gaia said.

"Then let’s get to work. Please integrate my world into Liu Ping’s world." Yun Xi said.

Gaia sighed and said, "Can’t we rest for a while? Liu Ping won’t die! "

"If his situation is really so safe, why did God go with him?" Yun Xi said.

Gaia was speechless.

Master Pao’s voice came from afar.

"Come, hurry up and integrate Yun Xi’s Six Paths of Reincarnation into Liu Ping’s world."

"You’re helping this little girl too?" Gaia snorted.

"I know you’re tired, I’m tired too, but this has to be done immediately. I have a feeling that Liu Ping needs the help of us gods." Master Pao said.

The Pixie Princess, Rita, jumped out of the void and landed on Yun Xi’s head. She shouted, "Let’s get to work. We have to help Liu Ping too. Otherwise, he will only take God out to play next time and not us!"

Gaia sighed and said, "We’re working so hard. Can we help him?"

"Of course, his world is synchronized with his. No matter where, as long as his world becomes stronger, he will definitely benefit." Master Pao said.

"I’m scared of you guys. Let’s integrate the Six Paths of Reincarnation now." Gaia said.

"Wait a minute."

Yun Xi stood up and explained, "My world has six attributes. They are Heaven, Man, Beast, Huan Quan, Asura, and Wraith. You have to choose one as the main attribute and integrate it into his world."

"God left me a message. He told us to choose ’Huan Quan’." Master Pao said.

"Then Huan Quan it is." Gaia said.

"Please choose a deity with the attributes of death, destruction, and withering to connect with my world." Yun Xi said.

The Gods couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at the Goddess of Death named Dream.

The Goddess of Death chuckled: "Sure, he’s killed so many enemies, allowing me to recover quite a bit of my strength, it’s time for me to contribute."

...

A bygone era.

At that moment 960 million years ago.

In the dark void, boundless dark purple light erupted from the divine pillar.

"Ugh ... Ahhhh!"

The World Lord’s cries of agony resounded all around.

Liu Ping stood far away in the void, quietly observing the changes in the situation.

The voice of God sounded:

"It won’t take too long to transform into a nightmare. Once it completes the transformation, its power will increase tremendously. It will immediately carry out orders and subdue those female World Lords."

"Looks like we have to think of a solution quickly," Liu Ping said.

"Not us, but you." The High Emperor corrected him.

"Aren’t you omniscient?" Liu Ping said.

" But the one who traveled through time and space in an attempt to change the fate of everything is you. I can only be considered as a consultant, the kind that doesn’t bear any responsibility. " God replied.

"Why don’t you come back to life and activate your ’Omnipotence’ power?" Liu Ping asked.

" The greater the responsibility, the greater the danger. This matter still has to be handed over to you in the end, us Gods are already too old." God said with a solemn tone.

"Alright, your style is still as cautious as ever." Liu Ping said.

He fell into deep thought.

He was fully aware of how dangerous this matter was right now.

Because it couldn’t be redone, there was only one chance.

What happened here would determine the actions and direction of the nightmares for the entirety of the next 960 million years.

There was only one chance.

No matter what happened.

The future eras would change accordingly according to his intervention.

The Four Great Laws surrounded him, waiting for the resetting of the fate of everything in the entire timeline.

The events in history would still happen.

He definitely couldn’t change them.

"This is the starting point of all history."

God sighed: "What we’re about to do now is as if we’ve once again arrived at a crucial moment in history."

"This is the starting point. A fish sets off from here and swims along the upstream of the River of Time towards the future. Everything along the way will be experienced again without a single mistake, and it will definitely reach the future without a single mistake."

"What if there’s a mistake?" Liu Ping asked.

"The Four Great Laws will immediately erase you." God said.

Liu Ping continued: "Then the only thing I can do is to stuff something that originally wasn’t in this fish’s stomach, or add everything that originally wasn’t in its path."

"Exactly." God said.

"That’s a bit difficult ..." Liu Ping sighed.

"If it wasn’t difficult, why would I have to die in this battle?" God said.

"You’re afraid of this?" Liu Ping was surprised.

"I’m the boss of the Divine Faction, I can only influence people, I can’t lie." God said.

"So you have no choice but to partner up with me and set a trap together?" Liu Ping asked.

"Together, we can save all living beings." God said.

As the two chatted, the changes on the Divine Pillar became more and more intense, to the point that the entire Divine Pillar began to tremble, as if it was about to collapse.

The first nightmare was about to be born!

Liu Ping waved his hand and took out the Warden Blade from the void of space.

"You said you wouldn’t kill it." God said.

"You’re talking as if I’ll definitely win, let’s go!"

Liu Ping appeared from the void of space, his body trembled, then suddenly swung his Blade towards the distance.

A ray of light filled with a destructive aura flashed from the blade before disappearing.

Beginner-level Occult Blade Technique, Tremor Slash!

A cautious voice came from the Divine Pillar: "Occult Blade Technique? Who are you? "

Countless dark-purple runes appeared in front of the saber light, blocking it in layers.

The Blade continued forward, cutting through all the runes.

A hand grabbed it.

The World-class life form had appeared.

His body had already been corroded by the dark purple light, turning into a purple humanoid figure. Tiny secret runes gradually appeared on the outside, looking like a suit of armor.

That was his Nightmare Embrace.

"I think I know who I am, but I’m not sure, so I don’t need to introduce myself." Liu Ping shrugged.

The humanoid figure reached out a hand full of purple light and extinguished the flickering Blade’s attack, then spoke in a low voice:

"No matter who you are, there will only be one outcome for you today."

"Die!"

As soon as he said that, everything around him abruptly disappeared.

Liu Ping found himself in a different world.

On the ground.

Large swathes of people were dying and mutating.

All living beings in this world were heading towards the end of their lives in fear and despair.

Their souls would be devoured by the World-class life form to increase its own strength and guarantee victory over all enemies.

This was the other party’s world!

Liu Ping sighed, landed on top of a spire, hugged the Blade to his chest, and looked up at the sky.

The blue sky was being replaced by a dark purple hue.

"I’ve always been curious, what exactly is your World Technique? After all, you’re so powerful that almost no one is qualified to challenge you." Liu Ping said.

The dark purple humanoid figure silently appeared in the sky and looked down at him: 「Hoh!」

In an instant, lines of burning words appeared in his mind.

[The other party has activated the World Technique – Hoh]

[The entire world is filled with endless control power, capable of taking control of your entire body at any time, please be careful]

Liu Ping looked around.

Runes appeared in the void like a crazy waterfall, connecting with each other to form a line, enveloping his body.

Each line was a form of control.

As long as they touched him, his control over his body would be taken away.

「Die!」

The dark purple humanoid figure had a pair of sharp claws on his hands and appeared in front of Liu Ping in a flash.

Liu Ping swung his Blade to parry the other party’s claws, then abruptly flashed away to avoid the incoming lines, weaving back and forth in mid-air.

More and more lines of runes appeared like a raging tsunami, surging up and down between heaven and earth, attempting to drown the figure that was flying.

「Ahahaha, everything in the void of space is my World Technique, you won’t be able to escape!」

The dark purple humanoid figure hovered in mid-air, swinging his claws from afar.

Kih!

Liu Ping blocked another attack, but he didn’t even have a chance to retaliate, he had to dodge the waves of runes again.

I can’t let them touch me.

Once they touch me, the battle will be over.

He leapt into the sky, looked down at the sea of runes that converged in the void of space, and praised:

"If you’re already at this level, if you’re given another few hundred million years to devour living beings, who in the boundless void would be able to win against you?"

As soon as he said that.

The dull sound of thunder resounded from deep in the sky.

Rain.

Dripping.

The drizzling rain fell from the sky, gradually turning into a torrential downpour.

Boom!

With the sound of thunder, the rain poured down, washing away all things.

In the entire world, where every drop of rainwater fell, rune threads would break, collapse, and disappear.

「Huh?」

Within the sea of runes below, the dark purple humanoid figure silently appeared and asked: 「What kind of Blade technique is this?」

"It’s just rain, come up here, let’s continue fighting." Liu Ping cracked his neck a bit, then raised his Blade and said.

A line of burning text silently appeared in the void of space:

[You’ve activated an advanced Occultism Blade technique, Rain Slash]

[Attention!]

[Your ’Rain Slash’ is a creation-type Occultism Blade technique, it has surpassed the shackles of normal power and is currently breaking through the opponent’s World Technique, Thunderclap]

[The opponent is accumulating even more power]

[This is a battle where even the slightest distraction will result in death]

[Please be prepared!]
